The agricultural industry is a staple of Winnipeg’s economy, making it a global agricultural powerhouse with a strong agri-food research, development, and processing ecosystem. The city and surrounding communities are collectively home to the headquarters of many large Canadian agribusinesses and has a growing agriculture-technology (agri-tech) sector, including companies focused on plant protein processing and more. And despite of advancements in agri-tech and related facilities, one type of building remains to be a steadfast fixture – barns. While there is no specific count for the number of barns in the city of Winnipeg, the surrounding province of Manitoba has more than 14,500 farms, many of which have barns on their land and are located in Winnipeg.
Barns on farmland here are used for a variety of purposes, namely for animal shelter, livestock production, and storing crops and equipment. However, their versatile design makes them useful for many other applications, including as workshops, garages, storage sheds, and even commercial spaces to host farmer’s markets and farm-themed events and the like. There is even a trend for using barns as residential spaces, including the portmanteau of barndominiums. Apparently the demand for bardominium mortgages is on the rise right here in the Winnipeg area.

Why Choose Buhle When Seeking Painting Services for Your Farmland Barn in Winnipeg Manitoba
Barn Exterior Painting Services
Barn exteriors should be repainted every 3-5 years. Repainting a barn provides significant benefits, including the following:
- Helps protect again the elements associated with Winnipeg weather.
- Helps prevent deterioration.
- Helps protect against mold and mildew, as paints with mildewcides (additives that prevent the growth of mold and mildew) can prevent mold and mildew from growing on the surface.
- Reduces moisture penetration and water ingress.
- Helps protect against pest infestation, which is a major concern for barns. Paint protects against pests and rodents by creating a physical barrier, making barn exterior surfaces less inviting through color, and sometimes through pest-repelling additives.
- Makes cleaning more manageable, in that a painted surface is easier to clean than weathered wood or metal, as dirt and grime won’t adhere as easily and can be washed off.
- Can reduce future costs associated with upkeep, as new premium paint can protect against damage.
- Enhances the overall look of the farmland property, which is very important when the barn is used to host commercial events and/or for residential purposes (i.e. as an Airbnb experience).
- Can increase property value, which can make it more appealing to potential buyers and investors.
Buhle is Winnipeg’s commercial, industrial, and agricultural exterior painting expert. We provide paints that are durable against weather in addition to human/animal interference, and those that are visually appealing. Our service checks all of the boxes that barn exteriors require.
IMPORTANT: Using a low volatile organic compound (VOC) paint for barns is a crucial safety measure to protect both animals, stored crops, and workers from harmful fumes. High-VOC paints release toxic chemicals into the air as they dry, which can cause respiratory issues and other health problems. Ask Buhle about low VOC paints.
